Steampunk Book List

There is a lot of wonderful fiction out there that fits to a greater or lesser extent into the Steampunk canon. I compiled this page based on other reading lists I found on the web and I will continue to refine it as I wend my way through this amazing genre. There is some debate about whether or not the scientific romances of the 19th century can technically be considered Steampunk, but I have included some of the most notable titles here to serve as a backdrop for more contemporary works.
